off topic 400th post woooot

[ROSEWOOD]

EA said over on b o x t a l k he would stop RH in 6rounds

dya think he could beat Hatton

EA is a fun & entertaining guy to watch but he would absolutely get crushed by hatton..he would stand for those game EA plays in the ring...

I really think Augustus would beat him, though i doubt he could stop him in 6 ounds, or even stop him at all. would be a great fight, id like to see Hatton trying to hold on to EA, while He does that little shoulder move to make hatton fall past him. But of couse EA would lose a point for not getting involved in the clinches.

Augustus is the best journeyman in the game today.

Unfortuntely or Emmanuel, he is a bit past his prime and he has always been an underachiever. The comparisons of Mr. Augustus to Collazo are not founded on anything in reality. Collazo is fresher, bodily stronger, and of course the ever-important southpaw advantage he has is something Emmanuel does not have.

The truth is, in the back of some of your minds, you desperately want to believe Hatton is not a good fighter and that he's just another 'white hope' or UK fraud who will lose to any slick boxer. You are beginning to convince yourselves that the Collazo fight was an easy win for Luis.

In other words, it's time for you all to step back into reality.

Collazo won that fight.

how did you have it scored ?

augustus would no doubt have a shot to win this fight. this may be the only fight he could really get into. he does not like hatton at all.

yup, ea could win if they ever fought.

how did you have it scored ?

I had it 114-113 for Collazo.

Collazo is a southpaw, yes, but he's not as good a boxer as EA is. EA's skills are far superior to anyone but PBF in the 147-140 weight classes.

Like I said, I believe EA makes Hatton look like an amateur (think Hopkins - Trinidad where Hatton would be playing the role of Tito).

Straight up, you're talkin out of your ass. I'll bet you $100 through paypal that Hatton would defeat Augustus. Remember that if this fight ever comes off.

Sometimes I think you people just want to give me your money.
